Editor Barrier was one of the folks who survived just to at tend these meetings, and to take notes and to preserve the brave deeds or his comrades. .Notwithstanding his system atio preparation and great care to details, Liditor Barrier, making the 5:37 a. m. train for Salisbury, forgot his hand ba containing hard tack, pencils, paper and empty vessels for snake bites (the latter easily got ten and more quickly cured in Salisbury). The editor's valet the best one in town rushed to the depot to make an honest offort to put tho owner and hand-bag to gether. As the intelligent reader must know from the beautiful half-tone engraving above, tho valet, though swift, lost his hold. But undaunted, he bicycled it to Salisbury.

THE COTTON' GROWERS' MEETINt IN .MACON. Secretary Allison Tells the frogressiv Farmer Readers Wbnt Whs Done Tho North Carolina Meeting Next Month. Correspond ance of the Progressiv i arcer. In response to your request of recent date, will say: I hav just received tho papers from Atiauta, whore they wore loft fur publication, so could not comply sooner. The meeting iu Macon, Ga., was a success. Tru soverai fjtates were not. -opre santod, but their letters of en couragement were sufficient to let'us know they were in full sympathy with tho movemont, It is vory evident the planters of ueorgia are in earnest in this matter. The delegation from this State was cordially received and made to feel we were welcome in thi groat work. You know it was i State movement, and tho call was by them to form an inter State organization. As the full objects of the meeting were nol fully known in the other States, it was deemed best to make temporary organization. The meeting was called to or der by Mr. Harvie Jordan, Presi dent of tho Georgia Cotton Growers' Protective Associa tion, who was unanimously elected President (upon mottoi ol isorth uarohna) of the torn porary organization of the Inter State Association, with Mr. Jno P Allison, ot North Carolina, Secretary. A committee of seven wore ap pointed to report a plan of or anizatiou. Their report is as- follows: an Inter-Stale Cotloi Association bo or 1. That Planters' vnized. 2. That each Slate Associa tion bo allowed throe representa tives upon tho Inter-Stato Exe t utivo Committee 3. That the Inter-Stato Execu- ive Committee bo authonzod tc adopt a constitution aud elect officers 4. That tho Chairman and Sec retary of this meeting be author- zed to act for tho Inter-State Exccutiuo Committee until the same can meet and act. This was adopted and a call made to the different cotton States to hold meetings and elect delogatesto a meeting to beheld n Atlanta, Ga., as soon after January as possible, the date to be fixed by the chairman. As you know, adologation was appointed by Maj. W A Graham, chairman of our State meeting eld in Raleigh, in October. The following five of that committee ttended the Macon meeting: Hon. S L Patterson, Col. B Cam eron, Messrs, F A W hi taker. J W B Battle, and Jno. P Allison, i There were several splendid addresses made in the mooting, it as this is only to toll what as do do, will not attempt any report of what was said. Our meeting in October ad journed to meet again in Janu ary, in Raleigh, the date to be fixed by our president. At that me 1 hope the planters of the State will take sufficient interest in this matter to attend and send elegatos that will represent their true interests. Jno. P. Allison. Secretary.

According to call a group of the 57th North Carolina Confed erate regiment met in Salisbury Thursday, December 13th, the 38th anniversary of the first bat tle in which the regiment ou gaged, that of Fredericksburg in lo02. Capt. Jno. Board, the sonior officer, acted as chairman and requested Mr. Jno. M Julian Julian and tho writer to act as secretaries.

The writer being called upon read the official reports of Gon erals Hood and Law, which were now to most of the regiment. A short rehearsal of some leading incidents followed, one of which is as follows : While passing South of it ridge and being on tho way into action a falling shell struck down two men. It was the first grue some sceno and prepared those near lor tho sight of carnage soon to follow. Tho speaker stopped to ask for rifcmation with regard to these men.

Oh, how everlasting weary the inau with tho griev man can make the person to whom he insists iu telling his grievacne. he fellow with tho grievance ants you to neglect your own business, lay everything aside and attend to his little trouble. he man with the grievance cer- ainly is a pest and, like the poor, he is always with us. The tired man is another fellow who as more ways to communicate is tiredness than you can ouu- murato. If the tired man is a minister he goes around among is llock with a sigh that would make a pair of bellows turn green with envy and tells the "breih ering'' and especially the "sistor- ng" how he is wearing himself out, how he is spending sleepless ightsand toilsome days literally giviug up his life to his work. If the tired man is a physician y makes his patients nerovus bn oiling them how long it has bee , since ho hada wholeniglit'ssleep If the tired man works in an flice he blows how he is tieu to his dcsK and works witnout rest from day's end to day's end, but no matter what business or pro fession the tired man is in he never gets so completely fugged out that he docs iot have breath enough left to make his hearers weary with his little tale of woe. Don't have a grievance and if you get tired keep your mouth shutand rest. Monroe Innuirer. .NEWS Cl'LMXOS. Mrs. Russell, of Mahone N Y., will soon give her 106th birthday' party.
